evening 10 wreck the Indiana, Bloomington
aud Western east-bound passenger train
which left Pekin at ) O'Clock at Leslie station
six miles east of this city The westbound
passenger trains are due here at o'clock
arriving and pass at this point. The west
bound passenger passed Leslie all right. II
was bciWeen this time and SIS that some
person on f-srsofs carried a large stone, weigh
ing cp.si.l. II hundred pounds % feet from
the north end ofthe switch track, and placed
it between the rails Of the main track The
east-bound passenger train left here, and
very fortunately had passenger for Leslie
station. The engineer was notified and had
slowed up when his engine struck the large
stone and the forward truck left the track.
The train was delayed nearly an hour.
Had il not been for this one passenger, a
young lady, there would have been smash
up. as the train would have dashed into the
obstruction at full speed The only theory
given for this devilish work is that of rob
berry The officials of the road will investi-
gate the matter.

wounded by posse of deputy sheriffs in an
attempt to arrest him ON warrant sued out
by the sheriff of Neosho. He was taken to

TO recovery.
\ Sheriff's deputy came after him yester-

taking him. Fifteen or twenty masked men
surrounded the hospital last night oyerpow-
cred. disarmed and bound the guards and
took Laws away, not permitting his wife
who was watching TO go with him. Laws
was put into wagon and carried across the
river into Kansas. 4 posse of sheriffs is in
pursuit
Laws is member of the gang headed by
franklin brothers, two noted despero6oes,
and one of the guards says he recognized
Con Franklin among the men last night. 1t

die, and to prevent any information being

Fires and Drought.


koEHLER, Men, Sept 2-Terrible forest
fires are raging in this vicinity and immense
damage has been done 10 the standing tim
ber and to logs and lies. A large crowd of
men IS fighting the big fire southwest from
this place. A strong northwest wind carried
the flames into a lot of logs owned by Love
less Blainey yesterday, burning about 5000
feet of logs and 1000 cedar ties in less than
two hours, causing loss of about 1000
over 100000 feet of logs and nearly 20.0O0
ties are now surrounded and it is very doubt
ful ifthey will succeed in saving anything in
this section. The prevailing drought is the
worst known for years. Not a drop of rain
has fallen since July 4th, and the ground
is terribly parched. A large meadow owned
by H. L. koehler caught fire about six weeks
ago and is still burning The soil is rich,
black muck, and holes two or three feet deep
have been burned into il and all the efforts
to put the fire ont have been fruitless. All
vegetation is scorched and the late crops are
a total failure
